The ultimate scientist’s business card?

SCIENTISTS and others in the laboratory sector might be interested in these unusual business cards, created by an Italian advertising agency.

Full marks for attention-grabbing, though. Click on the picture or follow this link to the full story on laughingsquid.com.
